By unconditional love, they are refering to an emotion "experienced as a desire to care for another person without any thought of reward."
They conducted their research on low-paid assistants looking after people with learning difficulties.
Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans they were able to identify seven areas of the brain that became active while evoking feelings of unconditional love. Three of these areas are similar to those associated with romantic love, but as the others were different, it suggests that unconditional love is a separate kind of love.
How many different kinds of love do you think there are, or do you think they are all the same but differ slightly depending on circumstances?
